Great....thank you.

Very busy with one thing and another

Not been so active for a long while....makes a change from being stuck indoors all day avoiding the heat

Also seeems to be a notable absence of all the problems that Bud and his ilk tell us are so prevalent in this land

We are still renovating our house but have not been so socially active or happy for a long while

Glad to hear it. We're still renovating one year after our return! But having lots of fun.

You'd probably benefit from a course in remedial English comprehension.

Also, you are anti-immigrant, not just 'anti-immigration' as you claim. If you weren't you would not be so obsessed with the subject that you have to exaggerate the problem even beyond what is claimed by the right wing press.

I can't be bothered to argue with you any more. Frankly, it is beneath me.
Complete rubbish. Throwing insults is a sign of weakness.

Anyway, from the Guardian would you believe.

Just part of the growing problem.

Do some research and look at the bigger picture. It's easy to sit there in an ivory tower and say you don't see the problems that other people are suffering. The I'm all right Jack approach to current affairs doesn't help anyone.

More from..........wait for it...........THE GUARDIAN.

On the contrary, it's as realistic - or not - as your "no immigration until we sort the infrastructure" mantra.

Ah!, but there is no where in this thread that I said there should be no immigration.

Feel free to check.

Let's call it a day. Good to hear your points of view and I appreciate your, Shard's and others input.

I'm not sure if I agree with your views or not, but at least you offer some evidence to support your views -

But the person you quoted isn't particularly nice either.

"This article was amended on 12 January to clarify that local authorities were expressly forbidden from replacing social housing stock by the Thatcher government under the right-to-buy programme"

Says it all really.

Indeed it does. I hope "Bud the Wiser" read your post.

Meanwhile, the OP will presumably be interested to know that immigration rose to 330k in the last 12 months:

The latest rise in net migration has been mainly driven by a continuing rise in those coming to work in Britain, who account for 65,000 of the increase. Nearly two-thirds of those already had a job to come to.
It's the result of having a successful economy.

For all UKIP and the Tories blame the EU's freedom of movement for the ever increasing numbers it's interesting to note that non-EU migration, which the government can stop, is still higher than migration from the EU.

Yes that is interesting, and under 27,000 of the 330,000 were asylum applicants, of whom only 11,600 were given asylum.
